I've been back in Melbourne for three weeks now, and while it's been great seeing friends whom I missed during the one month I was in good ol' Johor Bahru and Singapore, university has been torturing me. I have two subjects this semester that are incredibly theoretical: 'Political Analysis: Ideas and Strategies', and 'Contemporary Sociological Theory'. And they mess with your mind, I tell you.

These are the questions that are running through my head tonight: 1. Am I a good enough friend? 2. Am I a sympathetic enough person towards the feelings of others? 3. Am I too intolerant of others? 4. How much would I sacrifice for my friends, or for strangers? 5. Am I mature enough as a person, and as a Christian? 6. Would I make a good boyfriend/husband? 7. Would I make a good father? 8. Would

I'm back in South East Asia. Singapore right now, to be exact. The flight from Melbourne was bittersweet. Bitter in the sense that it took an extra hour and a half because the plane had to go around the stupid ash cloud, sweet in the sense that I talked a fair bit with the person sitting next to me. It's always good when people are friendly. She bought orange juice on the flight and shared it

If you've been following my tweets, you would be fairly acquainted to the fact that I spend a considerable amount of time in the Law Library, which I would guess is the quietest, most study-friendly library in the University of Melbourne. If you were to assume that I spend all that time actually studying, you would be partially correct. I could be considered as studying, but at the same time

I have two essays, both 2000 words long and worth 50% each, due in less than 25 hours. That's a total of 4000 words. Right now I am at about 600. I am, as you might guess, slightly concerned. Obviously I'm going to have to work really hard tonight. I am, however, quite convinced that I'll be able to finish my work in time. Pray for me, though.

The low risk-taking also leads to alienation (r=.95) and encourages complacency. The bureaucratic set-up retards risk-taking by excessive rule orientation. The conservative approach frustrates and weakens the achievement motivation of the managers so that the needs which they value less such as security and complacency are satisfied while their higher order needs remain dissatisfied {Laxmi Narain

I was chatting with my friend Tabitha Lim this afternoon when she asked why my recent blog posts sound so mature. I brushed off her question by jokingly replying "maybe because I am! *waggles eyebrows*"I didn't give her question a second thought. I have always known myself as a person who would best be described as "childlike". I never wanted to grow up. But then, about 5 minutes ago, I looked at

Public Displays of Affection are annoying because they imply that the couple involved require that kind of activity to feel like a couple.They are annoying because they either assume you are interested in watching said displays, or completely disregard your displeasure at seeing said displays.And perhaps most significantly, they are annoying because they are a stark reminder that you, in contrast

Feminism - The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of sexual equality.-Oxford DictionaryOne of the subjects I am taking this semester is called Sexual Politics. Interesting name, isn't it? Most would assume, by considering the name of the subject alone, that it is about the act of sex in politics. Bill Clinton springs to mind. Anwar Ibrahim as well, to fellow Malaysians. But no, the subject

There was one song that was going through my head as I visited Phillip Island: Indescribable by Chris Tomlin.I would upload a YouTube video of it so you guys can take a listen, but the versions on YouTube are mostly of the song accompanied with amateurish visual editing. You know, the kind where the person uploading the video just chucks in some animated text on top of generic pictures of nature

I realised that not very many of my recent posts, or any, for that matter, have had pictures in them. And so, in an effort to break the trend, here's one.You may be wondering whether I can play the ukulele. Yes, I can. (Whether or not I can play it well is a different matter altogether.)

My second semester in the University of Melbourne starts tomorrow. Two and a half hours worth of lectures awaits with bated breath and sharp pointy teeth.I dread going back to uni tomorrow. I guess it's mostly because I had a long and incredibly lazy summer break, which I enjoyed tremendously.

It's been a while since I've checked in here.Things have changed.1. My grandfather passed away last week. He was the last of all my biological grandparents and although there was a severe language barrier between us (he spoke Teochiew and I speak English), I loved him dearly and so did the rest of my family members. He had been suffering from cancer for two years, and I do believe that despite

This Christmas will be the 21st Christmas that I'll be celebrating. That's a lot of Christmases.It's safe to say that I'm not quite excited about Christmas this year. As I sit here at the dining table in my house in good ol' Johor Bahru, I glance to my right at the Christmas tree; the flickering lights aren't even on.There doesn't seem to be that much of the "Christmas spirit" in the air, at

Here's an update for those of you who aren't, well, updated about what I've been up to.It's been a week since the plane I was in touched down in Changi Airport, Singapore. Since then I have been in good ol' Johor Bahru.I've been living a rather sedentary life. The food is good. In one week, I have eaten Cathay Beef Noodles three times.Johor Bahru, in general, is boring. Mosquitoes are plentiful.

Those who knew me during my time in Temasek Polytechnic would probably think that I'm some sort of genius. Admittedly, my results were rather ideal in TP. I found myself constantly pleased back then.I urge you now, however, to consider the fact that I was only lucky back in the poly days (which now seem so far away). Quite simply, I haven't been getting back ideal results for my assignments. "

Yes, I realised that I haven't been blogging lately. I think a part of me was hoping that a lack of posts would lead to the spammers on my chatbox thinking that they'd be better off spamming a site with greater traffic, but alas, my hopes were dashed cruelly.As you would probably know by now, I am alive. However, I'm not doing that well.University is tough. Assignments are tough. Recently I've

I have an issue with the whole "I like it on the _____" status thing going on on Facebook.If you haven't yet noticed that girls are posting statuses such as "I like it on the dining table" or "I like it on the bathroom floor" or "I like it on the toilet bowl", it simply means one of these things:a) You don't have a Facebook account, in which case you really should think about getting oneb) You

I realised that I haven't written a post lately, and as a result of this, some of you might be wondering whether I have been the latest victim of some terrible disease that turns humans into zombies.Some of you might not have such a terrific imagination, and for that you should be grateful.In any case, this post is to let you all know that I am perfectly fine.

I feel empty tonight.Besides the word "empty", I seriously don't know how to describe what I'm feeling. There's just a void inside me. And I don't know what is causing the void, or what should be filling the void. It's just there.Don't you hate it when you know there's something wrong with you, but you just can't place what exactly it it?Yeah, me too.Goodnight World.

Hello, World! I am alive and chirpy. It is 1:48pm and I just woke up.And that's the awesome thing about being on holiday, innit? If I were not on holiday, I would've had to wake up at 8.15am to attend my 9.00am class. And that would've been a major pain in the butt.Holidays save you lots of pain in the butt. No sexual innuendo intended.As some of you would've noticed on Facebook, I've been taking

It is 2:30am on Wednesday.I have a 2000 word essay due tomorrow at 4:00pm. And I haven't written a single word.The worst part is that I'm not very much worried about it. Of course, I'm worried a little bit. I think mostly I'm worried that I'm not worried.I feel completely uninspired to complete this assignment. I don't know whether it's just because this assignment is pretty boring. Probably not,

I'm very annoyed.I know. There's just too much angst on this blog nowadays.I hate it that there are people out there who don't know me and are content with making assumptions about me. Negative assumptions.I dislike being disliked.

Hello, today I want to rant about the clothes dryer downstairs.The apartment building I live in has a laundry room. In it, there are three washing machines and three dryers.I have to pay $3.00 each time I want to use the washing machine.The real problem is that my room is too small for me to hand up my clothes to dry. There's just not enough space.So I have to use the dryers.It costs me $2.00 for

This past week has been a terrible one.Emotions have run high. And I've been so busy sorting out these feelings, and in the process, being manipulated by them, that I've pretty much neglected my work for the past week.Now I stand at the foot of the huge mountain of work that has erected itself before me. No doubt, its massive volume would have been smaller had I had the self-discipline to force

"Identify and discuss three factors that influence the work of news journalists. Why is an analysis of these factors crucial to our understanding of the role of news media in society?"I hate how this question is phrased, simply because I don't know what it expects of me.Am I supposed to say that the role of news media in society is changing? Am I to say that the factors either assist or detract

Today, I have gained further understanding into the torture that girls go through during That Time of The Month.You see, my upset tummy has taken a turn for the worst. (I don't quite know whether the term is "a turn for the worse" or "a turn for the worst". At this point, I don't really think I quite care.)Yesterday, the aforementioned tummy was suffering from sporadic churning. And when the

My tummy is upset. It's been churning since early this morning, which means it's something I ate last night.Last night, my friends and I had a BBQ.I paid $10 to help cover the cost of the food.Which means I paid $10 only to get my tummy upset. That's like RM30.Now that this realisation has hit me, it's not just the tummy that's upset.I demand a refund!I would rant some more, but I reckon I'd have

I'm guessing I should be excited about this.To be honest, I'm not. But I wouldn't say I'm apprehensive either. It's a rather neutral feeling. How do I define it? Nonchalance, perhaps.Or, as the Singaporeans like to put it: Meh.And then, there is the feeling of guilt that I'm feeling Meh.I'm quite sure that I shouldn't be feeling Meh. I really should be thankful because I have the opportunity to

Have I mentioned that I am now 21 years old?I think my new status of "Full Fledged Adult" alone should raise me up two notches on the Sexy-ness Scale.Which would put me at Notch Two.Alright! :D

Without complaint.Give me one day where I'm not nagged at to apply for the damn universities, or to get a job, or to upgrade my skills, or to do something or another.Give me a beach holiday.Give me a way out of living in this superficial

I've decided that I want a Segway for my birthday this year.I'll treat it really nicely and clean it and all, I promise!But please, buy me a Segway.Have I ever mentioned how much I loathe walking? I loathe it with a fiery passion. Not just any fiery passion either. A really hot fiery passion.My feet weren't made for walking. My feet were made to be placed on coffee tables while I watch TV.My feet

Australia or America?The former is the option which is more convenient, thanks to the services of IDP and the fact that my somewhat decent grades should be able to secure me a place in one of the top institutions there. Australia National University seems to be calling out to me.The latter is home to the Ivy League universities, of which I am harbouring some amount of secret desire for. It's more

My Advanced Television Production group project. Screw it if we don't get an A, I'm fishing proud of it anyways.How incredibly abrupt.Just two days ago, we were slaving away in my friend Justin's place, working on our Zombie Flick (and playing the occasional Street Fighter game to de-stress) way into the wee hours of the morning.We worked. We toiled. We nearly died.Today, we presented our video

Unless I get word that my body is playing a complicatedly devious and highly immoral prank on me, I am quite convinced that I am pretty damn sick.In fact, two nights ago, the word "sick", if used to describe the state I was in, would have been a rather gross understatement.It was one of those nights where my body was so feverish that I'd warm up my own bed, leading to a rather uncomfortable and

For a subject called Advanced Television Production, my groupmates and I are filming a Zombie Flick.It was either this or a documentary. The latter would've been by far easier and less time consuming to produce.The Zombie Flick, on the other hand, is a Zombie Flick, and the groupmates were incredibly excited about the prospect of producing (what is perhaps) the first ever Zombie Flick to be shot

"Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."Luke 2:11I realise that I tend to think mostly about God the Father, focusing a lot on my relationship with Him, and how angry/disappointed he is that I haven't really been that great a Christian as of late.Every night I reflect and think about how much I've changed.

On Friday, I got the news that I scored a C+ in one of my assignments.When my tutor told me the grade, my heart sank heavier than an elephant with cemented legs dropped into the middle of a lake by a group of Mafia goons.C+ you know!"Unacceptable!" I muttered to myself as I walked away. It's been a while since I last got such a low grade for an individual assignment. I normally get bummed if I

So we lost the Inter-polys. Hm.I dunno. I'm tremendously sorry, but somehow I'm not affected very much by it.I think this is due to a range of factors:a) My team won it last year so it's already in my list of achievementsb) The trophies this year really look like crap! Lousy, tiny-assed things.c) You just don't care about losing to a team which says China and Brazil are developed nationsSo oh

It's the curse of being a teenager, we just get so consumed by anger and emo-ness and all these negative emotions.Emo-ness normally leads to anger, anyway.And more often than not, we're angry at other people.Hatred boils within our souls; bubbling and rising higher and higher until we feel

I utterly despise how my secondary school friend Desmond Lim taught me how to sleep on a desk, using blank paper as a pillow. It's just so utterly amazing how my cheek can actually sense the difference in texture between just the flat desk, as opposed to the flat desk with a piece of paper. And it's this difference which tricks me into believing that the paper is actually rather comfortable.

The above line is attributed to Sunshine. I think it's a phrase quite contrary to the kind of vibe one would expect from a name like "Sunshine".You see, right now I'm sitting with my debate squad mates.

It's 8am, and slowly but gradually the current residents of Chalet No. Q02 stir to consciousness.One, like me, has been awake for the past half an hour. And yet I can't say for certain that we're both awake; we stare at our individual screens with eyes that seem rather half asleep.Stoned, that's what you'd call us. All movement seems slow and sluggish.No, there was no alcohol intake last night.
